From 26.2 to 2026: Running and Sports in KC


Listen Later

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we welcome Dave Borchardt from the KC Sports Commission, race director for the Garmin Kansas City Marathon happening October 18, 2025. Dave gives us the inside scoop on what runners can expect this year, including the expo at historic Union Station and the race-day experience across Kansas City. We also zoom out beyond the marathon to talk about the city’s booming sports scene — from the rise of the KC Current to the excitement building for the FIFA World Cup games coming to Kansas City in 2026. It’s a conversation that celebrates running, community, and the way big events put KC on the global stage. Whether you’re gearing up for 26.2, running one of the shorter distances, or just proud to call Kansas City home, this episode will get you hyped for race day and beyond.
